I was 33 seconds off my best today, but another solid run done.

And chasing down that cohort spurred me on to knock a chunk off my PB.

OK, all done. Loads of people out at the weekend, with two PB times, and one PB finishing position.

Well, I became Parkrun tourist for the first time today, venturing over to Exeter Riverside to finally have a go on a flat course. I'm waiting for the official time, but it is definitely a PB by my own timing. :)

Windy. Windy. Windy. Windy. Windy. Windy. Windy. Windy. Windy. Windy.

Also warm. Did I mention it was windy?

I was about 2 minutes down on my PB too. Still, it's always nice to get out and run.

Only a small breeze at Coventry today. Coventry is not directly beside the sea.
